Suzanne84:

<eyeing all of you> HISSES!!!!

"The gulag archipelago" By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a classic but goes at 2km per hr

My Best has  to be "Leon Uris: EXODUS". 1987.
I read a lot of James Hadley Chase in my time: Miss 'something' wave a wand, The Dead stay Dumb, Can of Worms, Sucker Punch, Believe this, Believe Anything, (read all the Hadley Chase series in secondary school). l guess "Chase" taught me most of the bad things l knew in life, growing-up

Others are the "Robert Ludlum" Series:Omertta, Mataresce Circle, Vulture is a Patient Bird, e.t.c
Then there are the Wilbur Smiths, The Tom Clancys, an a host of others.
Does anyone still know the author of these two enigmatic Books: "Spanish Inquisition" and "Blood Brothers"? I want them for keeps but cant remember the authors, or how l ca get them? help pls.

Then there are the "small volume" ones like the "Richest Man in Babylon, The Prince (Machiavelli), Rich Dad, Poor Dad; Cash flow quadrant, e.t.c

Did a little bit of "Mills & Boon" but l prefer to "act out" the romance instead of reading about it 

Back then, l read so veraciously, my mum noticed and buys me Novels as birthday gifts!

For school proper (exam purposes), read: Weep not child, Gullivers Travels, Alan Quatermain, Treasure Island, Oliver Twist, Things Fall apart, Our husband has gone mad, Lorna Dunne, Alawiye, Efunsetan-Aniwura (Iyalode Ibadan  ), Ogboju-ode ninu Igbo Irunmole (that one gives me nightmares!), e.t.c

Realized that no one mentioned my pry school favorite (Alli and the Angel), not much of a Novel actually, was a school reading textbook.

BTW: I also read ma Bible Nice book, always new, every time!!

, and l noticed "ladies" seem to read more than guys? well, guys are off to play ball or chasing girls sha

Four past Midnight.Stephen King,kept going on and on,so lefthis book for him, first book i havent finished, and ive read millions of books

Last page my Dear; you answered the wrong question!!

Well,I dont know how to quote a post but this is directed at an individual; TROYNOW, I happen to disagree totally with you on your view of THE TROJAN ODYSSEY,it's written by CLIVE CUSSLER and if you an avid novel reader,you would know that HE is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Adventure,Thiller and Suspense novels.Clive Cussler rocks anyday anytime.I suggest you get some of his other books like RAISE THE TITANIC,WHITE SHARK and others that I can't remember right now.I can actually recommend them cos I've read at least a dozen of them.Ciao.

@nagoma.
Forgive me, my mistake

Now, worst book l've read?
Hmmm, can't remember, , l must have dropped it so fast, before even opening the first page!

I have a knack for knowing boring books, from their covers!
Just like l can tell a bad Record (the ones with excessive cover design!) from its cover

Seems all the effort went into the cover's design and not the song itself

Thank you for drawing my attention to it.

Velocity - Dean.Koontz.

Mine used to be "Mayor of Casterbridge" until i read "Tess of d'urbevilles". Thomas Hardy writes to bore

Ever read The Plague' by Abert Camus? Made the most uninteresting reading so far.

A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemminway. It was so boring that even though it was my literature text, I chose to fail questions from it rather than finish reading the book.

Patricia Cornwell's books are all boring.

The African Child By Camara Laye.

The Famished Road by Ben Okri - I couldn't make head or tail of it.

Les Miserables - way tooooo long

The strong breed by wole soyinka!

The strong breed by wole soyinka!

The strong breed by wole soyinka!

:p

Mario Puzo's Fools Die.

I rest my case

i thought James Patterson's book are just the bomb but on reading Cat n Mouse i started to think otherwise.It was just boring

Tess of D'urbevilles by Thomas hardy

The most uninteresting book I've ever read? Can't remember the name,that's how uninteresting it was,only thing I can remember is that it took me like 3 days to get past the 1st chapter,and I never finished it. I think the name was Quadrophenia or something like that,t'was about the hippie age and all the drugs they took.

It must be very uninterestin cz I kant remembr d name

The man died- Wole Soyinka, couldn't go beyond the first page. Let's talk about kevin- can't remember the author's name but she won the orange prize because of d book, makes me wonder why boring books win such prizes.

Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy.
Can't get past their first 5 pages.

I've been unable to get through George Orwell's 1984 & Thomas Hardy's MAYOR OF THE CASTERBRIDGE for a long period of time. . . .

Robert Ludlum and Tom Clancy.
Can't get past their first 5 pages.

I have same problem with Tom Clancy, I force myself to slug through the first 100 pages before giving up.

Grisham, I tolerate better, but lately his books have been hugely disappointing. Stephen King I don't even bother to read anymore. He was a classic once, but it's like he's not even trying now. Thank God he's decided to retire from writing.

I can't believe a BORN writer can just retire from writing coz whenever 1 get a computer 4 myself(my works are still in ink on paper). . . .i can only surrender my fingers to death alone coz, yes, i'm a born writer, i write in my dreams atimes!

who ever wrote lester the vampire? 

and who said something about John Grisham, pls dnt even go dia. dat guy is DA BOMB!

good to know i'm not the only one who finds tom clancy's books a total bore and awaste of time.
also try agatha christie's miss marple series. . .zzzzzzzzzzz
